cup pronounced as "kuppi"
I do not understand why should we use such foreign words like "liiga" (league) or "cup" in Finnish.

"tallettaa" used when "tallentaa" should be used
Word "tallettaa" means putting something into bank and possibly getting more back, word "tallentaa" means putting something somewhere where one could find it again when needed. So word "tallenne" is used for music cds, dvds, tapes like vhs etc., which means information is put into medium and information like music or video can be played again.

Word "tallette" does not exist.
